Dingell: ‘We’ve Got a Hiring Crisis’ Contributing to Formula Shortage
Breitbart ^ | 05/18/2022 | Ian hatchett

Posted on 05/18/2022 3:19:47 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

On Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Way Too Early,” Rep. Debbie Dingell (D-MI) stated that one issue contributing to the national baby formula shortage is that “we’ve got a hiring crisis in this country.” And as a result, “FDA is having a difficult time hiring some of the people that they need.”

Dingell said, “Well, some of us are introducing a bill that is going to invoke the Defense [Production] Act. Because we do believe that this is a crisis and we need to move everything we can to get going. As that Abbott plant reopens, there [are] some disturbing reports…so we want to make sure there [are] independent safety inspectors in there ensuring that the formula that is going to be produced is safe for mothers to use with their children. We are looking at expanding — legislation that would say to WIC, expand the number of formulas that mothers can buy. I think we’re looking at everything that’s possible. And we’ve got a hiring crisis in this country. FDA is having a difficult time hiring some of the people that they need. And we are putting more money into making sure that the FDA has the resources that they need to address this problem. We are now talking about our children. Our children, when they are born, need to have proper access to nutrition, to be able to get the food they need to live. This is a crisis for all of us.”

Sounds like a load of horse manure. The FDA shuts down the wrong plant, causes a backlog, then blames their incompetence on a “hiring shortage”?

Maybe they are going to press some of the unused teats into service for the Motherland.

She looks dead.

A common look among Democrat politicians, to be fair.

That’s a way of signaling that we need the illegal invaders so that they can fill those pesky jobs Americans don’t want and the heck with Ebola, monkeypox and other diseases...Will take you anyway we can. INSANITY!

round up people? Great shades of Saddam’s baby food factory! Defense Production Act? Really? Am I the only one who is wondering what the bleep else they make at a place called Abbott Laboratories? There is no way baby food is all they do at that bigaxx plant. Atropine maybe? Who shipped atropine to the Ukes a couple months ago? And just how fumblefingered do you need to be to screw up making baby food? I remember helping my Mom wash up bottles and stir up stuff to feed my little brother——not really witchcraft?

There seems to be zero interest by the press in finding out how screwed up Abbott labs is? So what other Abbott products are in short supply? Maybe we could offer the Iraqs a free shot at the Abbott Clusterfactory? And now we have a Dingell involved and that’s a sure sign some sort of kickback is involved?

Please Sen Dingell open the borders so the hard working people around the world can come to the Abbott factory and save all of our infants. (sarc)

That’s a terrible hairdo for her. She needs bangs or something to soften her face. She’s letting her wrinkles hang out.

Most of the problems ARE government created. Dingbat and Biden continue to misidentify Abbott as a culprit.

So, government incompetence shut down a necessary plant for no good reason and the answer it to hire more government regulators? Umm...nope.
